Water Milfoil (Myriophyllum species)

Water milfoils are submerged aquatic plants. All but one of Michigan's seven
species are characterized by very dissected leaves that have the appearance of 2
sided combs. The Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) is an introduced
species that has become a serious pest in the lakes of several counties in the
Lower Peninsula.
